KINGSTON, Jamaica — A Senior Parish Judge was visibly upset when she learned that an unemployed 20-year-old man kicked his girlfriend in her face after allegedly breaking into her house.

The man, Norman Dickens, pleaded guilty to malicious destruction of property and assault occasioning actual bodily harm. However, he pleaded not guilty to the house-breaking and larceny charge, when he appeared in the Kingston and St Andrew Parish Court, on Tuesday.

For destroying his girlfriend’s cellphone, he was ordered to pay $30,000 to replace it. Dickens was also ordered to pay $80,000 in restitution for assaulting the woman, totalling $110,000.

Allegations are that Dickens broke into the complainant’s house by picking the lock. He told the court that he saw her speaking with a man and they looked “close.” According to Dickens, he saw this as disrespectful and an argument erupted between the two, resulting in him assaulting her.

The complainant told presiding Judge Lori-Ann Cole-Montague, that Dickens, whom she is no longer in a relationship with, “him lick mi all over mi body.”

When asked what Dickens used to hit her, the woman said, he used his hands and feet.

“You don’t work, but your foot is all over this young lady,” the outraged judge said.

The complainant revealed that the man who visited her was unable to assist her during the assault because he has a broken leg.

Denying the accusation that he broke into the complainant’s house and took her cellphone, Dickens said the complainant called him “’round her yard and disrespect him.” However, the prosecution said he actually left with the cell phone then it was destroyed.

The complainant denied ever calling him to her house.

A fingerprint order was made for Dickens, and conditions were added to his bail. He was ordered to report to the nearest police station on Tuesdays and Thursdays between the hours of 6:00 am and 6:00 pm. Dickens was also ordered to have no contact or communication with the complainant, and he is not to visit the complainant’s home.

Dickens is to return to court on November 22 for sentencing.
